We continue with our series on the Great Invocation in various African languages, and as mentioned before, the translations of this world prayer, will be presented in alphabetical order.

Two of the previous versions of the Great Invocation were in English. English is the lingua franca of most of the countries once colonised by Britain, and in those countries it is the language of government, business and commerce; we think of countries such as Botswana, Gambia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/african_languages.htm
